The monkey is a freaky-looking bastard, even makes the weirdly deformed human titans look normal by comparison.

Also, we're still not clear on how a human gets turned into a Titan, but it seems that even the ferals are once-human victims who really aren't in control of the terrible poo poo they're doing.
Solar powered nano-machines run by alien sasquatch titans.
Wouldn't that just be the biggest plot let-down in the history of manga?

Titans were created when humanity attempted to genetically modify human beings with starfish DNA to accelerate regeneration and advanced healing, but it went horribly wrong.
I'm kind of hoping for a non science-based explanation for the titans, as they seem to do decidedly unscientific things, like generate and lose huge amounts of mass out of thin air (nobody mention nanomachines, utility fogs, or hyperspace!).

The fan art for this manga has been pretty incredible.

And of course, every cartoon character in existence has been drawn peeking over the wall in place of the colossal titan.

The time period this is set in is an alternate version of current Earth, where the titans attacks begun in the middle ages, correct? This is why technological progress is somewhat diminished, so I'm guessing that nanomachines, utility fogs and other sci-fi Macguffins won't be part of the plot.

I wonder, if there was a group of people who had the power like Eren's to boss Titans around, could they order them to form themselves into walls?
It kind of makes you think about what the wall cult and the nobility are hiding.

And what happened to all the women titans? Why are they only like, 5-10% of the total titan population?
I think most of the titans are drawn androgynous or male so that Hajime can avoid having giant, naked woman roaming around.
Sexy titan boobs would not be a good look for what are supposed to be carnivorous monsters.

There is a live action porn parody based on Attack on Titan. Of course, it stars a woman made up as Titan-Annie.
Censored, but probably still :nws:

Now we have a definite explanation for the mostly primitive technology mixed with the more modern; It's been deliberately suppressed (the stuff not directly designed to fight Titans).

I thought Ymir was going to be someone important since her first appearance. You can't get a more 'ancient mythical giant' sounding name than that, in norse mythology at least.
Perhaps the series should be called 'Attack on Jötunn'.

Here's some fun reading.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_giants_in_mythology_and_folklore
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ymir

And on the greek Titans.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(mythology)

There's still a big question mark about the identity of Funky The Monkey, though. He could be just a random creation of the author, or a mythical giant.
Heck, there's a lot to choose from; he could be Og, Iapetus, Atlas, or Lucifer himself (a good possibility).


I could be reading too much into this, as I don't recall anyone else except Ymir being named after a mythological giant.
